“Master, I surrender. I beg for your forgiveness!”

Facing the pressure of death, the Taotie could no longer bear it.

The aura of death enveloped him deeply.

At this moment, it surrendered.

“Good!”

“But you are not qualified to be accepted. Follow my disciple first!”

After Ye Changge said that, the majesty that filled the sky completely dissipated, as if it had not appeared in the first place.

“Disciple?” The Taotie heard this and felt a little displeased.

If it was a powerhouse like Ye Changge, even if he submitted, it would not damage his reputation.

But his disciple, who knew what cultivation level he had now. If he was just a piece of trash, then it might as well die.

“You don't seem to be very willing?” Ye Changge smiled slightly.

This smile, in the eyes of the Taotie, immediately frightened it to the point that its entire body trembled, and all the hairs on its body stood on end.

The person in front of him was too terrifying, and had already made him lose the courage to fight.

Moreover, fierce beasts like them all had keen senses, and it suddenly felt as if it was enveloped by a great terror.

If it dared to say even a single word, it felt like its soul would dissipate in the next moment.

For this reason, it could only lower its head.

Seeing this play out in front of them, everyone simply could not believe their eyes.

The Taotie had submitted just like that.

This mysterious black-clothed young man was actually so terrifying. With just a simple action, he had subdued this ancient fierce beast that left them helpless.

The rest of the elders' jaws dropped to the ground, and they were speechless for a long time.

Their gazes looked back and forth, and they could see the terror in each other's eyes. One had to know that this person had subdued Taotie.

And not killed it.

The difference between them was too great, and had a completely different meaning.

The stronger the vicious beast, the greater its arrogance. It would rather die in battle than submit to humans.

Furthermore, it was the ancient beast, the Taotie. It was an existence comparable to the four great divine beasts.

However, at this moment, they were all shocked.

Under their gazes, the Taotie presented its soul imprint and headed towards Ye Changge.

However, in the next moment, it made their eyeb.a.l.l.s explode.

At this moment, several miles away from the Heavenly Snow Palace…

Hundreds of people were hiding in front of the mountain peak, their eyes filled with excitement.

On their sleeves, there was a small sword symbol. It was the symbol of the Desert Sword Sect.

Most of these people were at the Rebirth Realm, and there were even Tribulation Transcendent Realm cultivators.

The dozen people in front were all quasi-emperors, and they were already standing at the peak of this world.

At this moment, they all looked at the black-clothed elder in the middle. The cultivation of a peak quasi-emperor was Jian Shangqiu, the sect master of the Desert Sword Sect.

It could be said that the entire Desert Sword Sect had been sent out, and all the elite forces were here.

“Haven't you contacted elder s.h.i.+ Shan yet?” Jian Shangqiu asked with a frown.

Ever since two days ago, they had sent him a message through the voice transmission jade, but until now, there had been no news.

In the Northern Imperial City, the highest cultivation base was only at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendent Realm. There was not even an Entry Saint Realm expert, so it was impossible for an accident to happen.

There was still no news for such a long time. Could it be that they had encountered a powerful demonic beast in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm?

“Reporting to sect leader, there is no news about s.h.i.+ Shan at all. It's as if he vanished into thin air. Even his disciple, Li Feng, couldn't be contacted.”

At this moment, an elder asked someone else and they replied in a deep voice.

This was strange.

Taking into account s.h.i.+ Shan's personality, he would not be like this. Even if he could not be contacted on the spot, he would reply at another time.

Normally, he would not stay silent for more than three days.

At this moment, half a month had pa.s.sed before they left the sect.

Because the great Desert Sword Sect and the Heavenly Snow Palace were very far apart, they did not choose to take the fast flying s.h.i.+p in order to cover their tracks. Instead, they split up.

This way, they could do their best to not attract the attention of others and also ensure that the Heavenly Snow Palace was unprepared.

“Forget it. Time is of the essence. Let the disciples of the sect continue to contact him and inform him to rush to the Heavenly Snow Palace as soon as possible.”

Jian Shangqiu said impatiently.

Time was of the essence right now. The Heavenly Snow Palace was currently in a state of chaos. If they attacked at this time, the result would be twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, according to his spies, the Taotie that had been sealed at the back of the mountain for nearly half a month had been in constant turmoil, and was about to break through the seal of the array.

This was a once-in-lifetime opportunity for them.

“Sect master, we really have a way to control the Taotie?” some elders asked doubtfully.

The Taotie was a ferocious beast from the ancient times. It was tall and strong, b.l.o.o.d.y and brutal, and had a terrifying devouring ability.

This was its natural ability, which was very terrifying.

If it were one of those powerful Taoties, they could devour an entire star.

If the Taotie lost control, their entire Desert Sword Sect would probably be destroyed like the Heavenly Snow Palace.

One had to know that this was a ferocious beast that had existed since ancient times. It was extremely brutal.

Even the ancestors of the Heavenly Snow Palace could not kill it completely. Instead, they chose to seal it and suppress it.

This was a little scary.

If they were careless, they would be annihilated.

“Don't worry. As long as we have the Heart Controlling Stone, there won't be any problems.”

Jian Shangqiu took out a stone that was emitting a strange light. It was emitting a weak spiritual fluctuation.

With this, they would be able to control the tyrannical Taotie. Once they did that, the entire northern region would be theirs.

All the forces would submit to them, and the Desert Sword Sect would become the supreme existence.

Thinking of this, Jian Shangqiu's blood boiled.

At this moment, everyone turned their attention to this strange stone.

Its surface was dark green, and there were complex patterns on it, emitting a strange aura.

Light flashed, as if it had a life of its own, pulsating non-stop.

Everyone only took a few glances, and they felt their souls throb.

It was as if they were about to immerse themselves in the boundless green world, unable to extricate themselves.

If it was not for Jian Shangqiu's loud shout, they might have lost themselves in it and lost their consciousness.

It was too terrifying.

After everyone regained their senses, they all had palpitations in their hearts and no longer had any other defined thoughts.

Looking at everyone's shocked expressions, Jian Shangqiu's gaze flickered back to the stone. This stone was able to control the Taotie's mind, which was the secret of every generation's sect master.

This was a treasure left behind by the founder of the Desert Sword Sect ten thousand years ago.

As for the reason, he only found out recently that the founder of the Desert Sword sect ten thousand years ago was proficient in mind control. Originally, he wanted to control this fierce beast as the guardian of the mountain that established the sect.

However, it was unintentionally s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the people of the Heavenly Snow Palace. From then on, there was a conflict between the two sects, and it continued until now.

However, the Heavenly Snow Palace did not know that the Taotie's mind had been captured by the mind control spell.

The array that was activated was this strange stone. In this era where Emperors did not appear, who could be a match for the ancient fierce beasts?

The corners of Jian Shangqiu's lips curled upwards slightly, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
